Default 1980 lockup converter wiring

hi all, i'm from italy.
my vette have lockup converter that doesnt' work.
i found one electrical connector on the driver side, with only ONE green wire.
the vacuum switch on the firewall work fine, 12v coming, but no "tac-tac" from solenoid.
anyone have correct electrical wiring diagram for 1980?
i know it's different from 1981...
thank all..

I do have one but my scanner isnt working. You have the idea. 12v on and off to the solenoid. Its pretty simple.

Then you haven't used DocRebuilds diagrams. The 1980 diagram in the above link shows the vacuum switch tying into the backup light wiring which is not correct.
